It seems Lalucia sat on her mother's lap and asked her mother and father about 'charm points'.
"What's a 'charm point'?" "What's my charm point?"
"Hmm, that's a difficult question." "Your soft hair, just like your father's."
"Then, then, what's mother's charm point? What part of mother does father like?"
"Err, well..."
Mother and father felt a little overwhelmed by her rapid-fire questions.
After Lalucia had fallen asleep, father informed mother quietly:
"It's your shining silver hair, and your translucent yellow-green eyes. I'm always dazzled by them."
It wasn't until the next day that father and mother realized that at the same time Lalucia had gotten up to go to the bathroom, and had been outside the room at just that moment.
